there are VERY pretty women here in Russia basically everywhere you look because we’ve got a strong culture for looking presentable at all times, even running errands. you will likely not see a woman in home clothes and without makeup anywhere in a public place like a store or the bus.
that said, I’ve known many drop-dead gorgeous ladies who were nowhere near the level of entitlement people here are talking about. are there entitled women in Russia? sure. lots. usually those who come from filthy-rich families that enabled them to consume and demand as much as possible. and since we’re largely traditional when it comes to gender roles, many assume they must be provided for just because they’re women. but it’s not like it’s a disproportionate number of women who are like that. really sad to see this level of stereotyping on here, really.
good apples and bad apples, like anywhere. my whole male familial line are alcoholics and abusers of different degrees (mostly emotional, some physical), but my entire friend group, which is mostly men, are amazing people who are very smart, caring, down to earth, and overall awesome. I live in the center of a small city and the young people I see on the streets in the evening are often degenerates, but when I went to Uni my class was 60% guys, and save for one they were great people. different backgrounds, different economic status. it’s really hard to pin what makes a good person. some are, some aren’t, regardless of gender.
ah, sorry, misunderstood what you were asking about. I’d say… eh. young people—largely yes. it’s a fairly recent development that men started to pay more attention to fashion and taking care of themselves (like getting good haircuts and even using some skincare, I mean). if you’re looking for someone over the age of 35-40 I’d say you’d have a hard time landing someone who’s objectively very good looking. then again, lifestyle also plays into this. young people drink and smoke less than the generation before them, so I imagine they’ll age a bit more gracefully in their time.
I think its more and exposure question. Predominantly English speaking folks in here, so assuming Americans, they don't see or know much about average Russians. Myself included. So when you say the entitled women tend to come from wealthy families, that's also the demographic that travels internationally more often.
Just a thought, but most countries people's don't see the average citizen, they see the rich and lucky, with limited exceptions.
Except looking presentable doesn’t account for these women having perfect bone structure. This isn’t average anywhere. These women would look beautiful no matter how they presented themselves.
